Cycloaddition of 8-styrylcyclohepta[b]pyrroles with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Formation and thermal rearrangement of the 7H-6a-azacyclobuta[j]cyclopenta[1,2,3-cd]azulene ring system
Abstract
The cycloaddition of 8-styrylcyclohepta[b]pyrroles with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate give the 7H-6a-azacyclobuta[j]cyclopenta[1,2,3-cd]azulene ring system, which rearranges thermally into the 3H-2a-azacyclopenta[cd]azulene ring system.
